Engineering Extracellular Microenvironments: The Impact of Fibrous Materials on Cell Behavior

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fibrous structures are key elements of the native extracellular matrix and crucial for directing cell behavior. This review discusses how fiber properties such as composition, diameter, and alignment affect cell responses in 2D and 3D systems. Strategies for integrating fibrous cues into engineered tissues are highlighted, and future directions for ...

Co‐Delivery of Ca‐MOF and Mg‐MOF Using Nanoengineered Hydrogels to Promote In Situ Mineralization and Bone Defect Repair: In Vitro and In Vivo Analysis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have been synthesized using calcium (Ca‐MOF), magnesium (Mg‐MOF), and as hybrids (Ca/Mg‐MOF) for bone healing applications. MOFs are integrated into hydrogel polymer networks for injectable, sprayable, and coating applications.

Selective Lipolysis by Photoactivation of Chaperone‐Mediated Autophagy Using Adipocyte Membrane‐Coated Nanoparticle in Hydrogel

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Adipocyte membrane‐coated nanoparticles loaded with rosiglitazone in hydrogel offer an alternative approach to conventional obesity treatments. This system selectively targets adipocytes, inducing lipolysis by activating chaperone‐mediated autophagy through mild photothermal stimulation.

Development of a Vaginal Extracellular Matrix Hydrogel for Combating Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, a vaginal specific ECM hydrogel (vECM) is developed, optimized for intravaginal topical administration, and evaluated for mitigatation of vaginal atrophy associated with menopause. When applied in a rat model of menopause, vECM improves vaginal epithelial thickness and stem cell phenotype, and despite topical application, vECM also ...

Harnessing Photo‐Energy Conversion in Nanomaterials for Precision Theranostics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing photo‐energy conversion in nanomaterials enables precision theranostics through light‐driven mechanisms such as photoluminescence, photothermal, photoelectric, photoacoustic, photo‐triggered surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photodynamic processes. This review explores six fundamental principles of photo‐energy conversion, recent
